Like the double-headed eagle of the Seljuks, we will look for ways to improve our relations with the East and the West, based on our common interests,” said the Turkish President.</p> <p>It should be noted that the Turkish President had previously referred to the double-headed eagle, expressing the belief that Turkey should maintain strong relations with the East and the West.</p> <p>In his statements after the meeting of the Council of Ministers , the Turkish President stated that “Turkey is willing to improve its relations with the European Union and its member states, as long as the principles of law and Pacta Sunt Servanda (agreements must be respected) are respected.” However, for this to happen, the European Union must first get rid of its strategic blindness and stop excluding Turkey, he added.</p> <p>He pointed out that Turkey is the only way out of the tug-of-war in which Europe is trapped due to the competition between the forces in the East and the West of Europe. “The sooner European leaders see and accept this reality, the better it will be for them. We will continue to work to ensure that the situation in our shared geography does not deteriorate, wars do not spread and new crises do not break out,” he noted</p> <p>He also referred to his visit to Iraq, after 13 years, saying that “it was of historical importance both in terms of its results and in terms of the messages it contained”.</p> <p>We discussed with the Iraqi President and the Iraqi Prime Minister in detail the issues on our common agenda, in particular security, transport, energy and water. Our visit was sealed with 27 agreements signed in different sectors. We have crossed a critical threshold with the four-party agreement signed on the Development Road project, which will determine the future of our region, he said.</p> <p>He added that “we want to increase the volume of bilateral trade. us, which is currently about 20 billion dollars. The declaration of the PKK as a banned organization by the Iraqi Government is an important step in the fight against terrorism. We also stated that we expect the PKK to now be declared a terrorist organization.</p> <p>“When the time comes, we will definitely complete our work in Syria, which has been left unfinished due to broken promises made by our allies. I want it to be known that as long as the PKK finds a vital space in Iraq and Syria, it is impossible to feel safe”, said the Turkish President.</p> <p>He also referred to German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier's official visit to Turkey, saying “it was an opportunity for us to re-examine economic relations with the European Union, restrictions on (our) defense industry and growing xenophobia.” (in the EU)”.</p> <p>“Mr. Steinmeier's visit was also important because it coincided with the 100th anniversary of the Turkey-Germany Friendship Treaty. We have made it clear that the defense restrictions, which are not appropriate between two allies, must be lifted,” Mr. Erdogan said.</p> <p>Referring to the war in Gaza, the Turkish President pointed out that “we are glad that Hamas has announced that it accepts ceasefire based on our proposals. Now Israel must take the same step. We call on all Western actors to put pressure on the Israeli administration.</p> <p>“There are no problems that cannot be solved with any country in our region. We believe that there is no door that dialogue and negotiation cannot open. As long as there is good will and room for diplomacy. The rest will surely come with a little effort and a few sacrifices”, he said.</p> <p><noindex></p> <div class=Source: 24h.com.cy
